San Benedetto, Catholic church in central Bologna, Italy

The San Benedetto church features a beige interior with five chapels on each side and semi-circular clerestory windows that illuminate the decorated ceiling.

Founded in 1202 and rebuilt in 1606 by Giovanni Battista Ballerini, the church facade was rotated 180 degrees in 1892 during the creation of Via Indipendenza.

The interior houses numerous artworks by Italian masters including Giacomo Cavedoni, Alessandro Tiarini, Cesare Aretusi, Lucio Massari, and Ubaldo Gandolfi.

Located at Via dell'Indipendenza 64, the church welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

The church underwent a complete architectural transformation when its facade was moved from Via Galliera to face Via dell'Indipendenza in the late 19th century.
